RETURN home to make your countrystronger.
That was the call made by ChiefMinister Lim Guan Eng, who accom-panied Governor Tun Abdul Rahman
Abbas on a working visit to Londonfrom May 24 to 30, to the students at
Merton College, Oxford University.We need our young and talented
to return home to make Malaysiastronger. We know you will return to
a Malaysia that is livable and providesequal opportunities for you to prosper.Competition and accountability willmake Malaysia a better country thatis clean, green, healthy and safe for
all to live, work and play in. A strong-er Pakatan Rakyat means a strongerfuture for democracy, justice, free-dom, integrity and performance-basedculture in Malaysia, Lim said.
Earlier, Lim explained the politicaland economic scenario to them and
told them: We have already demon-strated that we can govern Penang andSelangor better than the BN. And we
have been rewarded with a largermandate, both in terms of seats as wellas our share of votes.
In Penang, we increased the num-ber of state seats from 29 to 30 and
our popular vote from 58% to 67%.We have shown that we can increaseour state reserves and at the sametime, redistribute financial aid andallocation equitably and transparent-
ly.Lim continued to expound why
returning to Malaysia will be good forthe country.
We will continue to come up with
even better ways to govern both states.In Penang, we will continue to findcreative ways to fulfil our vision ofcreating a balanced society that isdriven by progressive ideas, sustain-
able private investment and wellplanned public investment.
The creation of the Penang Para-digm, which was launched earlier this
year, provides a roadmap which wehave and will continue to use in orderto demonstrate to the people of Ma-laysia that this is how Pakatan willgovern in Putrajaya.
Lim left them with these words of
wisdom: The process of change andimprovement is part and parcel of life.
And it is a reality in political lifeman talent can only be built and
veloped by training and hard woIf America faces a fiscal cliff
threatens the financial health ofworld, Malaysia faces a talent that threatens our future econo
prosperity.

SOME 5.6 million voters in Ma-laysia who supported and votedfor Pakatan Rakyat know that BNwould have lost this election to
Pakatan Rakyat if not for the 4Msof:
Money politics to buy votes bythe BN;
Manipulation of the electoralsystem by a biased Election Com-mission; unfair Media coverage; and abuse of government Machin-
ery."Nowhere else in the world
would a coalition of parties whichwon 51% of the popular vote ina rst-past-the-post system not
only fail to enjoy a seat bonus that is win more than 51% of
the parliament seats but onlymanages to win 40% of seats,"Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng
said in his speech to the PakatanRakyat Supporters Club in Lon-don on May 25.
He added that BNs despera-tion to cling on to power imme-
diately after GE13 was quiteobvious as despite calling for anational reconciliation, the ac-tions of Prime Minister DatukSeri Najib Razak and his cabinet
members have been anything but
reconciliatory.Najib had blamed the "Chi-
nese tsunami" when everyoneknows that is was the Malaysian
Tsunami that caused the BN tolose the popular vote."After all, the Chinese are only
30% of the total voting popula-tion. Even if Pakatan had won80% of the Chinese vote, thismeans that only 24% out of the51% of our popular vote came
from the Chinese. The other 27%,or the majority of Pakatans sup-port, comes from non-Chinesevoters," Lim said.
He also took Home Minister
Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidito task for asking those who didnot like the electoral system andthe election results to leave the
country."Zahid is quickly making a
name for himself, along with thenew IGP Tan Sri Khalid AbuBakar, in launching a crackdownto detain anti-BN activists and PRleaders. BN is mistaken to think
that the majority of Malaysians(51%) will be cowed by BN. Themajority will not allow the minor-ity to suppress, repress and op-press the majority."
Pakatans challenge is to har-ness the desire for justice, free-
Freeing
Malaysiafrom BN'swinter
dom, democracy, integrity,equality and change expressed inthe 13th general election by the
51% of voters by focusing onthree areas.
One, the struggle for electoralreform. The need for an inde-pendent EC to conduct clean
elections that respect the oneperson, one vote, one valueprinciples has never been moreurgent. We will not allow BN tosteal the elections again.
Two, economic reform. Wehave seen how it has been busi-
ness as usual for the BN despitethe grand rhetoric of the Eco-nomic Transformation Program
(ETP) and the New EconomicModel (NEM).
"1MDB is operating like aslush fund handled by cronieswith no track record except close
personal ties with BN leaders.Newspaper reports have allegedthat prots of 1MDB have been
parked in the Cayman Islandswhile its debts are being parkedin Malaysia," Lim said.
More and more GLCs will be
privatised to a few selected indi-
viduals. Lucrative toll road con-
tracts will continue to be dishedout to BN cronies. Pakatan willcontest every single dodgy dealthat is attempted by the BN, es-
pecially demanding full account-ability for the GLCs and Petro-nas.
Thirdly, there must be a focuson making the Pakatan controlled
states of Penang and Selangoreven better models for compe-tent, accountable and transparentgovernment. "We will continueto prove that a clean government
can outperform a corrupt govern-
ment. We will make a differin the lives of ordinary M
sians by providing a futureis clean, green, safe and healMore importantly, PR ad
a Malaysian approach by aping to our hopes and insteapandering to our fears, wherare inspired by our dreamsbetter future together instea
despairing from BNs ragenda of dividing us etern
"PR promises a Malayspring to free Malaysia fBNs winter of fear, corrupmoney politics and poverty,"
concluded.

The Penang State Government held a luncheon at Komtar on May 14 for newly elected exmembers and assemblymembers to introduce them to the heads of departments in the StGovernment.
Assemblymembers for Penanti Dr. Norle la Ar iffin (left ) and Berapit , LydiaOng Kok Fooi, busy discussing their work during lunch.
Contrary to public perception, assemblymembers do not get five star hoteltreatment. This is the typical breakfast served at exco meetings whichcomprises fresh fruits, local kuih and nasi lemak.
AN item in the newspapers re-cently attracted quite a lot of atten-
tion because it was about Sarawakleaders getting a 300% pay in-crease.
The Sarawak State Assemblyapproved a Bill which provided the
Chief Minister a whopping
RM39,000 a month salary from thecurrent RM13,000.Sarawak state assemblymen
would also be receiving RM15,000
compared to the current RM4,500per month.
With this increase, Sarawakstate elected representatives wouldtop the salary list in the country.
They will in fact be earning
more than Federal Ministers andMembers of Parliament.
In the past, the Prime Ministeror Chief Minister would adopt acautious attitude when it comes to
increasing the salary of wakilrakyat.
Any hefty increase would bestrongly opposed by the Opposi-tion members, although they too
get an increase when the Bill isapproved.
Just last year, Datuk Seri NazriAbdul Aziz, who was then theMinister in charge of Parliament
affairs, had to withdraw the pro-
posal to increase MPs allowancesafter the hue and cry raised by theOpposition.
The last increase was almost 10years ago.
When I was rst elected to the
Penang State Assembly in 1990,
the basic allowance was RM2,000and an additional RM400 specialallowances.
This was all we received thenand with this sum, it was very dif-cult to engage a political secre-tary and provide a well-equippedservice centre.
Today, Penang assemblymem-bers receive RM4,112.79 asADUN allowance and a furtherspecial allowance of RM2,000.
Even though it is much higher
compared to 1990, the amount ishardly sufcient for a state repre-sentative to lead a comfortablelive, maybe just a frugal life if they
do not have a second job as aprofessional or run a business.
Now that we are in govern-ment, the Chief Minister is consid-ering the need to have a goodsupport team for the wakil rakyat
to perform well.The state government will pay
How much does a YB earn?
the salary of the constituency as-
sistants helping out the electedrepresentatives and to run thevarious social programmes of thePR state government.
The State Constitution provides
in Article 25 that: The Legislatureshall by law make provision forthe remuneration of the membersof the Legislative Assembly.
Therefore any increase must be
done through amending the Enact-ment for the Members of the Ad-
ministration and Members of theHouse (Remuneration) 1980.
At last weeks executive coun-
cil meeting, I was given the re-sponsibility to conduct a review ofthe current remuneration of Pen-angs elected representatives.
We will do a study of the State
Assembly in the various states tosee where we stand.
However, I do not think wewould consider something likewhat the Sarawak Assembly has
done, providing a 300% increase.But what is an appropriate
amount?While we need to take into
consideration the cost of living, I
think the most important is toadequately compensate thoseyoung people so that they can
decide to give up their jobs andincomes for a full-time career as
a politician.In todays challenging political
environment, it would be best tobe a full-time politician.
I have been a full-time politi-cian since 1986.
There have been very dif
times in my political career must count my blessings that Iwon all but one election to giv
an income that I can fully contrate on my political job.
Finally, the people mustunderstand the risk politichave to take.
If they are not re-electewould be very difcult to reb
their career outside politics.

A MOTHERs love knows no
bounds!
Cheah Bee Eng, 46, could
not hide her happiness to see
her only daughter, Cheah Pei
Fei, nine, receiving an articial
leg under the Che Hoon Khor
Moral Uplifting Societys third
Free Prostheses Programme
held at the societys grounds
in Jalan Macalister on May 17.
Cheah said her daughter was
born with a deformed left leg.
Even though she is handi-
capped (without a proper left
leg) she is an active and cheer-ful child, she told Buletin
Mutiara when met during the
ceremony.
Pei Fei loves to be inde-
pendent and does not expect
help from any one.
For Adibah Noor Ahmad
Fauzi, 24, the presentation of
the articial legs has given
fresh hope to her life and
enhanced her ability to move
around during her daily chores.
If previously there was a
hindrance to move about be-
cause of the out-of-size arti-
cial legs and also needing aid
from others, this problem hasnow been solved, Adibah said.
I can now stand and walk
on my own.
Another recipient, T. Bal-
akrishnan, 46, said he lost his
right leg in a road accident in1991.
From then on, I was with-
out a leg. Luckily, my wife and
my children gave their sup-
port, he said.
Pei Fei, Adibah and Bal-
akrishnan were among the 162
amputees who received articial
legs from the Prostheses Foun-
dation under the patronage of
The Princess Mother Of Thai-
land in a ceremony graced by
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
Che Hoon Khor Moral Up-
lifting Society Penang president
Datuk Ng Tee Soo in hisspeech thanked the Penang state
government for its generosity
in donating RM100,000 to-
wards the programme.
We are extremely happy
and deeply touched when we
see the applicants able to stand
upright again on their own in
front of us. They will live a
new lifestyle and we wish they
will achieve more in their lives
in time to come, he added.
This third round of charity
act has benetted about 200
people of various races. The
total expenditure is about
RM600,000. We have com-pleted 169 articial limbs so
far. For the remaining 31 ap-
plicants who are physically
unt to receive the aid now,
we promise to send them to
Kelantan in October to make
them the articial limb.
Ng also commended the
medical and technical unit of
the foundation for its devotion
and commitment.Meanwhile, Protheses Foun-
dation secretary- general As-
sociate Prof Dr Therdchai Jiva-
cate said since the foundation
was formed in 1992, the Thai

He said the foundation also
offers a mobile unit comprising

limbs.
This mobile unit has also
been operational in countries
like Thailand, Myanmar, L

Hopes on
Guan Engmount forRound 2Story by Himanshu Bhatt

WHEN Lim Guan Eng assumed
the Penang chief minister's postfollowing the political tsunami ofMarch 2008, there was massiveexpectation for reforms under hisnew Pakatan Rakyat state govern-
ment. Today, he leads the sameadministration for another fiveyears, having won the 13th Gen-eral Election in Penang, again bya landslide.
fz.com's Himanshu Bhatt re-cently spoke with Lim, 52, whoseemed visibly aged since 2008,the lines on his face having deep-ened with the increased weight of
public anticipation for his govern-ment to deliver even more in the
new term. Lim shares how heplans to keep alive the "wow" fac-tor.
Focus on people and institutions
Question: One of the things that
characterised your policy-mak-
ing in the last term was the focus
on social welfare. What do you
envisage will be the texture of the
state government in the next fve
years?
Lim: It's empowerment. We wantto empower the people not onlywomen, but also youths.
One of the characteristics of apeople-centric government is to
enable the people with education,skills and tools. So we focus onenabling and empowering thepeople.
We wiped out hard-core pov-erty in Penang. We are the rst
state to do so, in fact the only stateto do so, so far. Now, when youtalk about women, for example,we have just introduced the freemammograms programme. Good
health is also empowerment.
Many of the projects for senior
citizens, the hard-core poor and
so on were new. Do you think
the people responded well?
People felt empowered. Andthen they showed it. It's about howwe can maintain the "wow" factor.
And the "wow" factor is dependentnot just on style, but more on sub-stance. That would mean goodpolicies.
Is it important to make the poli-
cies tangible, to make them feel
that they are coming down to the
people individually?
Our Penang International Sci-
ence Fair, that is quite tangible. Ifyou attended our science fair youwould nd that it's very uplifting.
It's very modern and up-to-date.
And of course keeps abreast of thelatest technology.
In that sense, we have to focuson preparing the young for thefuture. While we focus on prepar-ing the future for the young, I think
we must also prepare the young forthe future.
And to do that you must investin the future. To win the future, youmust invest in the future. And that
means investing in education, in-vesting in health, investing in in-stitutions. You must have goodinstitutions.
By institutions you mean gov-ernment-related agencies?
Not only government agencies.I mean also in other respects, suchthat you follow a system of rules
and good practices. In the past youneeded political cables to getthings done. We talked about po-litical cables. Now we talk aboutcomputer cables.
The other aspect is intelligence.
We must invest in intelligence. Wemust invest in intelligent society.Some of them are digital intelli-gence, integrity in intelligence,
institutional intelligence and ofcourse sustainable intelligence.
State of democracy
What about in terms of the issueof civil liberties? Ensuring thatthere is greater consultation with
various groups and the citizen-
ry? You are pursuing the case
for local government elections,
and passed the Freedom of In-
formation enactment. How
much do you see you can further
open up civil liberties and con-
sultation?
That's one area that we hope thelegal adviser can speed up so thatall the measures we have passedin the state can be implemented.Our problem is it takes such a long
time for the legal adviser in the
state to get these done.
Among the expectations people
have had for Pakatan Rakyat,
and the DAP, is this idea of
democratic reform. The expec-
tation must be even higher now.
That's why it is very challeng-ing when you don't have federal
power. There is only so muchwhich you can do.
In that respect, while we do notwant to temper down expectations,we hope that it can be realistic. We
still don't have federal power. If wehave federal power then it's a dif-
ferent ball game. After the rst term, I think
we over-matched expectations. We
exceeded expectations, so nowthey put the standard higher. Sonow it's an even more difficulthurdle to overcome.
I think the expectation will be
especially visible when people
watch how you face criticisms
towards your administration. I
don't mean from the political
opposition, but movements
against, for example, the tunnel
project for the Penang Channel,
and other movements by people
and NGOs.
They may not represent anyone
except themselves. But we arewilling to listen. But at the sametime you must also respect that we
have the mandate of the people.And we intend to carry out thatmandate.
I am willing to listen and toadjust. But that does not mean thatI have to bow and scrape to them.
Which is invariably what theywant. They take the no-prisonersapproach. Either you agree withme or you are not with me... whichI don't quite agree lah.
I mean let us all try to movetowards this objective as much aspossible. It cannot be the "either or
nothing" position, which is whatthey are trying to say.
They say you don't give us thetram then that's it lah. You can't (dothat). We always try to look for thesecond best option.
Relations with federal govern-
ment
What do you see are the chal-
lenges the state government is
going to face with the federal
government in the second term?
Of course, the most importantis funding. But at the same time ifthe federal government does not
involve itself in change how dothey stay relevant? Like opentenders, I don't see how they canrefuse to implement open tenders.
With such a process, you canget better work done and you can
save further down the road interms of reducing your mainte-nance cost. Imagine if you canhave this type of money (from thesavings), to use for more produc-
tive purposes. We can wipe outpoverty.
Do you see any improvements
in terms of the federal gov
ment's grip on aspects like
Penang Port, the Penang In
national Airport and so on
As long as you are subjecronies, to crony capitalisdon't see any change. but I that they can move towards petitive tenders. Then I thiwill be liberating.
Finally, the same questionthe federal government facesmuch more than us, is how domanage change? For us, webrace change because chanprogress. But are they willi
embrace change?
The State Housing Bo
which was passed by the
assembly, is still no-go, isn
It is still stuck at the felevel. This state of stasis has tThe state of stasis will not render the government impobut also would also lead us t
road of ruin.
Among the issues your gov
ment faced were the new J

ment and Security Commit

eral government. Do you t
you will see these kinds of
ments in the next fve year
